Winemaker Notes Les Vignobles Foncalieu are a cooperative of winegrowers that produce a magnificent range of terrior wines. Thanks to their meticulous selection of the very best vine plots, the Foncalieu winegrowers have crafted a magnificent range of terroir wines. Their technical teams include international talents who revel in this mosaic of terroirs. Michel Servage and the 1,200 winegrowing estate owners produce upmarket wines of excellent quality. With the help of a group of pioneering winegrowers, Foncalieu has committed to organic agriculture. It is a choice which requires more work and greater investment, to produce lower per-hectare yields. But it is a source of great pride for us to be able to offer consumers wines sprung from soils which are healthier and more alive than ever before.

Tasting Notes The wine has a nice purple red color. Black fruit and "vegetal" flavors on the nose. It is silky in the mouth and delivers fresh and spicy aromas. Ideal with all red meats and grilled dishes.

Vinification Desteming and crushing of all grape harvest. A part of grapes is traditionally vinified (maceration of grapes in 26°), other one is thermovinificate (fermentation in liquid stage in a temperature of 20°). At the end of fermentation, the 2 parts are blending in a proportion 40/60. Ageing in stainless steel vat.
